Mark Keefer Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I smash as many as I can, flagged one last night 40 minutes after it was posted, late night West Coast time. I think the faster we can get them killed and the more of a PIA it will be for them, maybe they will give up, unless it is AI bots doing it.

John Farrell Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I report them, too...but the tool is too slow for the blitz spammers. We need either a moderator on duty, or an expansion of the tools we can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Keefer Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 These are coming in 3 a minute, not even real, all have same phone number but different company names. I would guess it is AI bots run by scammers. Could try IP range blocking at server or firewall router...but they are probably smart enough to use VPN. Maybe new rules for new users, could limit new users to only post in one generic flush forum until after verified by email by mail. Perhaps someone is just being a jerk and has it in for PN. Maybe CAPTCHA could slow down AI from creating a new account. Long delay if PN sending email verify email could slow down Spam server. How about charging a small fee to set up an account. Maybe $2 fee, hell I did a paid membership for almost two decades. I am sure spammers won't pay a fee for every spam posting. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a few months, however, I understand this loop-hole has recently been closed, so we should see no more Guests posting any images. *** There (still) exists the possibility that the "About Me" tab at a Member's home page can be abused for advertising, embedded links and spam. Many thanks to those members who have reported when that situation exists. WW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
